libboost_system-vc100-mt-1_55.lib Problem

[mingxinbit]

Hi,

I am using C++ to make my code using the API.

However, after I configure C++ environment including link GazeApiLibD.dll (Debug) and GazeApiLib.dll (Release), I run my code, the error information displayed below as : LINK : fatal error LNK1104: can not open “libboost_system-vc100-mt-gd-1_55.lib” . I have no idea what that is?

Can you help me resolve this problem.

Thank you so much.

Best,
Mingxin

I have solved this problem.

use CMake (by supplying the path to the boost library on your machine) to generate the visual studio project and compile from there.

If you start from an empty project and manually add source files, you will likely to get that message. Basically it's complaining about not finding the boost library files, which can be found in "boost_root/stage/lib". Add this path to the additional library path in visual studio.

If you don't see this folder or any lib files, you need to build boost first. Follow the steps here:http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#simplified-build-from-source

If I may suggest you, if that happens again (you post a question but find the solution afterwards) take your time to describe how you solved it. Today it's you asking, tomorrow is another user with the same problem reading your topic. The forum is a knowledge repository and solutions are always welcome.

Best regards.

I am looking for GazeApiLib.dll

Where can I find this?

[Martin]

At the moment it has to be built from source. We will provide a pre-compiled version soon.

After installing boost, the rest is straight forward...
